Open-source desktop AI that runs models locally on your own machine
Download and run open models such as Llama, Mistral, Qwen, Gemma, and DeepSeek directly on your own machine, with chat data kept on device.
Optionally connect API keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, and other providers to route requests to frontier models from the same interface.
Jan exposes a local server endpoint that follows the OpenAI API shape, so existing SDKs and tools can talk to your local models without code changes.
Create assistants with their own system instructions, model selection, and parameters, then reuse them across conversations.
An AI-powered visual workspace where teams think, plan, and build together
An infinite multiplayer board where cursors, comments, and live editing let remote and hybrid teams work in the same space simultaneously.
Docs, Tables, Slides, Kanban, and Timelines live alongside freeform drawing so a workshop can turn directly into a structured plan.
Generate diagrams, tables, and summaries, remove image backgrounds, and connect external AI assistants through the MCP server.
6,000-7,000+ templates for brainstorming, workshops, roadmapping, and process mapping give teams a running start.
